Re: [Amc-list] 83 eagle

[Wrambler242@xxxxxxxxxxx]

As far as all the info I had at the time said. the Eagle shared suspension on the upper control arms and coils.
Everything below that point was different.
Engine is offset so you need the spirit mounts and brackets to go with the crossmember.
I don't know anyone who has done a complete changeover, but suspect it will all bolt in.
I've never seen anything to make me believe they actually changed the frame horns except for maybe different years and bumper mounts.
